lib/list_sort: simplify and remove MAX_LIST_LENGTH_BITS

Browse source 
Rather than a fixed-size array of pending sorted runs, use the ->prev
links to keep track of things.  This reduces stack usage, eliminates
some ugly overflow handling, and reduces the code size.

Also:
* merge() no longer needs to handle NULL inputs, so simplify.
* The same applies to merge_and_restore_back_links(), which is renamed
  to the less ponderous merge_final().  (It's a static helper function,
  so we don't need a super-descriptive name; comments will do.)
* Document the actual return value requirements on the (*cmp)()
  function; some callers are already using this feature.

x86-64 code size 1086 -> 739 bytes (-347)

(Yes, I see checkpatch complaining about no space after comma in
"__attribute__((nonnull(2,3,4,5)))".  Checkpatch is wrong.)

Feedback from Rasmus Villemoes, Andy Shevchenko and Geert Uytterhoeven.

* This function implements "merge sort", which has O(nlog(n))

* This function implements a bottom-up merge sort, which has O(nlog(n))
* complexity. We use depth-first order to take advantage of cacheing.
* (E.g. when we get to the fourth element, we immediately merge the
* first two 2-element lists.)
*
* The comparison function @cmp must return a negative value if @a
* should sort before @b, and a positive value if @a should sort after
* @b. If @a and @b are equivalent, and their original relative
* ordering is to be preserved, @cmp must return 0.
* The comparison funtion @cmp must return > 0 if @a should sort after
* @b ("@a > @b" if you want an ascending sort), and <= 0 if @a should
* sort before @b *or* their original order should be preserved. It is
* always called with the element that came first in the input in @a,
* and list_sort is a stable sort, so it is not necessary to distinguish
* the @a < @b and @a == @b cases.
*
* This is compatible with two styles of @cmp function:
* - The traditional style which returns <0 / =0 / >0, or
* - Returning a boolean 0/1.
* The latter offers a chance to save a few cycles in the comparison
* (which is used by e.g. plug_ctx_cmp() in block/blk-mq.c).
*
* A good way to write a multi-word comparison is
* if (a->high != b->high)
* return a->high > b->high;
* if (a->middle != b->middle)
* return a->middle > b->middle;
* return a->low > b->low;
